What at first will explain is multiplex operation, and this multiplex operation is used for the receiving branch multiplex signal, these branch road multiplex signals are transformed into the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals and send these high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signalss.
SOH termination unit 20-1 ~ 20-M of each tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M and LOH termination unit 30-1 ~ 30-M with the similar fashion of utilizing conventional multiplexer to receive the expense of the multiplex signal that receives is carried out that conventional termination is handled and main signal send to main signal multiplexed/multichannel decomposition transform unit 100.At this, conventional termination is handled the inspection that relates to the normal condition of one section and one line between multiplexer itself and remote leg transmitting device, this remote leg transmitting device is positioned on the branch road multiplex signal transmitter side, wherein utilize the A byte to set up the synchronous of branch road multiplex signal, and as an example, utilize the B1 byte to check rub-out signal.In other words, utilize expense, for example utilize the expense that T.105 limits by ANSI to carry out operating relevant processing with administering and maintaining of branch line or section.According to the multiplexed rule of in the multiplexed converter unit 100 of main signal, determining in the past (for example, transforming to Fig. 2), the main signal of multiplexed branch road multiplex signal in the main signal of high speed signal from Fig. 1.On the other hand, multiplexer of the present invention transmits a part and use these branch road expenses between the multiplexer of needs, so that SOH termination unit 20-1 ~ 20-M and LOH termination unit 30-1 ~ 30-M are with the expense (except the B2 byte) that receives, so that this expense is sent to overhead processing unit 300-1.Can not pass through simply owing to the reason that will describe in the back makes the B2 byte, send overhead processing unit 300-1 to so each LOH termination unit 30-1 ~ 30-M checks an error number and a detection error number of coding in the branch line that is detected as normal B2 byte termination processing.
Overhead processing unit 300-1 carries out interconnection and processing, so that select an a part of branch road expense and a branch road expense of selecting to be inserted in the undefined zone of expense in high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals to be sent, the selection part of transmitting the branch road expense that is received by multiplexer thus is so that send it to the far-end multiplexer.The expense that sends from each tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M is collected in the multiplexed unit 110 of expense.Particularly, when the branch road multiplex signal is 16OC-12s, by each tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M transmission formative expense as shown in FIG. 1, so that each tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M utilizes the multiplexer in multiplex transmission apparatus sequentially to be access in so that from each unit 10-1 ~ 10-M select branch road expense waiting for transmission and according to the type of expense the expense classification of selecting.As an example, D4 byte (referring to Fig. 1) is positioned at the 6th row, the 1st row of each branch road multiplex signal be collected and in the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals from the 5th rank transformation to the 61 row of the 6th row (referring among Fig. 6 1000,1002), so that the D4 byte is passed through by means of the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals.Utilize this method, the expense of branch road multiplex signal is classified into each type and is inserted in the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals in the undefined byte, so that each sequence of unit ground is entered the expense of collecting every type.More precisely, in the above-mentioned example that provides, carry out multiplexed so that only be collected in D4 byte in each branch road multiplex signal.In addition, even each branch road multiplex signal is different on the frame phase place, its input side of the multiplexer in the multiplex transmission apparatus is provided with buffer so that can be multiplexed.On the other hand, each unit can make the phase alignment of giving the signal of the multiplexed unit 110 of expense to be passed.In the time of will receiving the B2 byte of having described after in the LOH termination unit, handling, can receive B2 itself, therefore in the multiplexed unit 110 of expense, carry out above-mentioned processing from the LOH termination unit.
Empty branch converting unit 200 is sending its branch road overhead byte interconnection to from the multiplexed unit 110 of expense, so that further the branch road overhead byte is resequenced.When utilizing this sky branch converting unit in this embodiment, certainly replace with a timing switch.If it can interconnection be used to select, resequence, or the like the branch road expense, just can utilize any switch, so that the expense that receives from each branch road multiplex signal can be inserted in the predetermined bite of the undefined byte the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals.Specifically, in this is implemented, the expense of 15 multiplex signals (1-15) in 16 branch road multiplex signals on OC-12s is transmitted, so that empty branch converting unit 200 only is chosen in expense waiting for transmission within the multiplex signal (1-15) from the output of the multiplexed unit 110 of expense.For example; the expense of selecting comprises: interconnection E1; E2, data channel D1-D2, protect conversion and control byte K1 automatically, K2 and line (multiplexer-to-multiplexer) error check byte B2 (referring to 1000-1004,1100-1107 and 1200-1208 in Fig. 6 and 7).Similarly, described at Fig. 1, the D1 byte than D4 byte more behindhand by multiplexer (referring in Fig. 6 1000,1001,1004) afterwards, the D1 byte that is arranged in than the head of more close this frame of D4 byte is inserted into the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals.In other words, empty branch converting unit 200 also makes the order rearrangement of branch road expense waiting for transmission, so that a kind of stated type of branch road expense can be inserted in the byte of the previous regulation of undefined byte in the high speed overhead area.
Expense demultiplex unit 120 receives the branch road expense that sends from sky branch converting unit 200, resolve into section overhead and line expense with an expense multichannel that receives, so that they are inserted in the previous byte of determining in the overhead area of the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals shown in Fig. 6 and 7, and the expense that multichannel is decomposed sends high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11 to.With the D4 byte of each branch road multiplex signal as an example, from each branch road multiplex signal, extract the D4 byte of each branch road multiplex signal out, so that be listed as the 61st D4 byte of in 4 row, inserting each branch road multiplex signal that is listed in overhead area the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals from the 5th of the 6th row, as among Fig. 6 by shown in 1000 and 1002.
With with the similar mode of conventional multiplexer, insert unit 50 and LOH inserts unit 40 by means of SOH, high speed signal transmissions/receiving element 11 generation overhead bytes use at interval for the spacer segment and the line of high speed transmitter side.In addition, expense that high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11 handles are extracted out by the tributary signal receiving element and that receive from expense demultiplex unit 120 is inserted in the undefined byte of before stipulating the line expense of high speed signal, as as shown in Fig. 6 and 7, so that produce expense to be sent, this expense be added to by main signal multiplexed/main signal of the multiplexed high speed signal in multichannel decomposition transform unit 100 on so that produce high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals by 11 transmissions of high speed signal transmissions/receiving element.It should be noted: in this embodiment, if regenerative repeater is positioned at the centre of transmission channel, so section overhead on this regenerative repeater by termination, so that only the expense of being extracted out by the tributary signal receiving element is inserted in the line overhead area of high speed signal.Certainly, if do not have regenerative repeater in the centre of transmission line so that section overhead not by termination till the transmitting device of destination, the undefined byte in the high regime overhead area can be used for a branch road expense of extracting out is inserted into them so.Under this sight, can transmit the expense of a large amount of branch road multiplex signals.
Following explanation is about the operation on the multichannel decomposition side, and it is used for a high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals that receives is transformed into branch road multiplex signal and this branch road multiplex signal of transmission.
With with tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10 similar modes, the SOH termination unit 60 of high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11 and LOH termination unit 70 terminates to the expenses in the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals that receives on the conventional demultiplexer similarly, so as main signal send to main signal multiplexed/multichannel decomposition transform unit 100.Utilize main signal multiplexed/multichannel decomposition transform unit 100 resolves into this main signal multichannel the main signal of tributary signal.On the other hand, because the expense that receives comprises the expense that sends from the far-end multiplexer, these expenses waiting for transmission are used as the branch road expense, so SOH termination unit 60 and LOH termination unit 70 taken off the expenses that receive, and they are sent to overhead processing unit 300-2.
Overhead processing unit 300-2 carries out interconnection and processing, so that select to be inserted into the expense in the precalculated position in each branch road multiplex signal, a transmission part thus is used to be sent to the expense of the reception of other branch road transmitting device.Therefore, overhead processing unit 300-2 carries out similarly handling with the processing that opposite order carries out with overhead processing unit 300-1 on multiplexed side on multichannel decomposition side.Specifically, the multiplexed unit of expense 130 collect from the transmission of far-end multiplexer and by the expense of high speed signal transmissions/receiving element 11 receptions, send its expense with 210 interconnections of sky branch converting unit to by the multiplexed unit 130 of expense, so that once more they are resequenced.Equally, expense demultiplex unit 140 resolves into section overhead and line expense to the expense multichannel that sends from sky branch converting unit 210, and these expense multichannels are decomposed, so that these expenses are inserted in the byte of the previous regulation in the overhead area of each the branch road multiplex signal shown in Fig. 1 and the expense that multichannel is decomposed sends to each tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M.
Utilize and the similar mode of conventional multiplexer, insert unit 80-1 ~ 80-M and SOH insertion unit 90-1 ~ 90-M by means of LOH, each group generation overhead byte of M group tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M uses at interval for the spacer segment and the line of branch, and extract out by the high speed signal receiving element and be inserted in the overhead byte of before the line overhead area of tributary signal, stipulating from the expense that expense demultiplex unit 140 receives, as shown in FIG. 1, so that produce expense to be sent, this expense be added to by main signal multiplexed/branch road main signal that multichannel decomposition transform unit 100 multichannels are decomposed so that produce the branch road multiplex signal that sends the branch road transmission line subsequently to.
The processing of transmitting the B2 byte according to of the present invention in the transmitting device that can be sent to the branch road expense that receives in the far-end transmitting device is described below in conjunction with the multiplexer that uses in the above-described embodiments.
Fig. 8 is the operating instruction figure that is used to explain B2-byte zoning, and this zoning is used for checking the transmitting device center line error of transmission at interval according to SONET or SDH use.Transmitting device utilization according to SONET or SDH use is arranged in the overhead area designator, (the H-byte on the 4th row) as shown in FIG. 1, so that identification is used for the phase place of the multiplex signal of the signal processing as multiplexed/multichannel is decomposed, reduce the delay of this multiplex signal thus.Each transmitting device only to the frame update designator that forms multiplex signal discerning this frame once more, and do not adjust, and conventional transmitting device need be adjusted the phase place of frame based on the then phase place of the frame of a device of a device.Reason for this reason, produce deviation between the B2 zoning of the B2 zoning of the multiplex signal that is updated in reception of designator and multiplex signal to be sent, as shown in FIG. 8, thus, even the B2 byte that receives is to transmit with the similar mode of other overhead byte, the transmitting device that receives expense can not correctly detect the mistake of being notified by the B2 byte that receives.
Shown another kind of method is: because the B2 byte can not directly be transmitted, as described above, the multiplexed side of multiplexer is so constructed,, each LOH termination unit 30-1 ~ 30-M of tributary signal transmission/receiving element determines the quantity of the mistake of detection so that reading (termination) B2 byte, and transmission is to the encode signal of (representing with " j " in following explanation) of the quantity of the mistake that detects, so that wrong quantity notice destination transmitting device.Specifically, each multiplex signal (in Fig. 1 the 5th the row on the 1st be listed as the 12nd row) the B2 byte by termination so that produce a signal (quantity of representing wrong j), this signal is inserted in the undefined byte in the overhead area of high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals (being 1103 in Fig. 7), is sent out in the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals then.
Decompose on the side in the multichannel of multiplexer, represent the signal of the quantity of wrong j can not be to be transmitted to branch, because it is different with the definition of B2 byte, so that in the leg distal end device, can not detect the quantity of mistake with the similar mode of other overhead byte.In addition, the quantity of the mistake that produces between the transmission channel between the transmitting device (between the transmitting device B and C in Fig. 4 B) of needs is the quantity that needs mistake to be sent He to be received.Yet, because the value of j is not included in the quantity of the mistake that produces on the high-speed transmission line between the multiplexer, so also will consider the mistake of this high-speed line.In addition, to decompose side be in order to carry out the processing the following processing of carrying out on the above-mentioned B2 of being combined in byte to the multichannel that forms the multiplexer of this embodiment.
At first, the LOH termination unit 70 of high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11 read be used for detecting the B2 of the error of transmission between high speed multiplexer byte (this B2 byte original high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals be defined and the 5th row in the structure chart of Fig. 2 and 6 the 1st be listed as in the 192nd row be illustrated), so that find the quantity of wrong i.LOH termination unit 70 is also separated the quantity of the detection mistake j of coding from the line expense of high speed signal (among Fig. 6 1103), and calculates iSummation with j k
Then, the multiplexed unit of the expense of overhead processing unit 300-2 130 is this kValue is multiplexed and they are sent to empty branch converting unit 210 with other overhead byte.Empty branch converting unit 210 is resequenced the overhead byte of transmission so that send tributary signal transmission/receiving element to.Expense demultiplex unit 140 resolves into the overhead byte multichannel that transmits from sky branch converting unit 210 section overhead and the line expense of waiting to send to M group tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M.
Then, LOH insert each unit among unit 80-1 ~ 80-M produce the B2 parity check that is used to a frame to be transmitted, counter-rotating and kCorresponding some positions, the insertion B2 byte of value sends on the branch road transmission line as the expense of tributary signal and this expense, makes the branch road far-end detect mistake by transmitting device thus.Certainly, it should be understood that and utilize and the operation that can be used for B2 byte on multichannel decomposition side in similar mode on the multiplexed side, that is, in opening multiplexed unit 130, can calculate k, or in LOH insertion unit 80-1 ~ 80-M, can collectively calculate kAnd bit reversal.
Multiplexer as an embodiment of the transmitting device of the invention described above is formed in this wise, promptly, when the information that receives from network management unit or similar units (not shown) about system configuration, control unit 400 be identified for overhead processing unit 300, multiplex signal transmission/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M and 11, or the like set point, so that can select to treat the type of the expense by multiplexer thus and select the position of undefined byte, this expense is inserted in this undefined byte.
Fig. 9 is a network structure, and this block diagram illustrating utilizes the example of structure of the transmission network of multiplexer of the present invention.More precisely, Fig. 9 understands the structure of network in detail, in this network, is used as the additional multiplexer E that installs, F at the multiplexer shown in above-mentioned Fig. 5 in the network structure shown in Fig. 4 B.Should be noted that: Fig. 9 has explained an example, and expense is decomposed side from multiplexer B is sent to multiplexer C and the multiplexer explained according to the present invention includes only each multiplexer needs multiplexed side and multichannel in this example.
Utilize the transmission network of multiplexer of the present invention to comprise: multiplexer B2001 is used for multiplexed main signal so that the branch road multiplex signal is sent to transmission line 500; Multiplexer E2006 is used for further multiplexed branch road multiplex signal so that the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals is sent to high-speed signal transmission lines 501; Multiplexed unit F 2007 is used for the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals multichannel that receives from high-speed transmission line 501 is decomposed so that the branch road multiplex signal is sent to tributary signal transmission line 502; With multiplexer C2004, be used for further branch road multiplex signal multichannel being resolved into the branch road main signal, wherein the main signal of being handled by multiplexer B2001 sends multiplexer C2004 to, and the expense in the branch road multiplex signal also transmits between multiplexer B2001 and multiplexer C2004, so that this transmission system is managed and attended operation.
Explain in more detail below, when being added to by multiplexed main signal and expense, multiplexer B2001 produces the branch road multiplex signal on the multiplexed main signal, when this branch road multiplex signal is sent to tributary signal transmission line 500, multiplexer E2006 terminates at the expense in the branch road multiplex signal, multiplexed this main signal and produces the expense that is used for the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals, and it constitutes the overhead transmission processing of feature of the present invention simultaneously.As described with reference to Fig. 5-7 in front, utilize tributary signal SOH termination unit 20 and tributary signal LOH termination unit 30, by the multiplexed unit 110 of expense, the empty overhead processing unit 300-1 that divides converting unit 200 and expense demultiplex unit 120 to form, and high speed signal LOH inserts unit 40 and high speed signal SOH inserts unit 50, by the expense in the branch road multiplex signal of control unit 400 regulations, carry out transmission process by interconnection selectively so that the expense of regulation is inserted in the assigned position of the overhead area of high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals (referring to Fig. 6 and 7).When the expense of regulation comprises the B2 byte, also carry out the B2-byte and handle, as mentioned above.
Received and comprised expense waiting for transmission and decompose main signal and produce the expense that is used for the branch road multiplex signal from expense, multichannel that the multiplexer F2007 that multiplexer E2006 sends the high speed multiplexer signal of high-speed transmission line 501 to terminates at the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals, simultaneously, the overhead transmission that constitutes feature of the present invention is handled.As previously described, this transmission process is the opposite processing of the transmission process undertaken by multiplexer E2006, wherein be used for being included in the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals and by the expense of the branch road multiplex signal waiting for transmission of control unit 400 regulations selectively by interconnection and be inserted in the position of stipulating in the overhead area of each branch road multiplex signal.The overhead processing unit 300-2 that utilizes high speed signal SOH termination unit 60 and high speed signal LOH termination unit 70, forms by the multiplexed unit 130 of expense, empty branchs converting unit 210 and expense demultiplex unit 140 and branch road LOH inserts unit 80 and branch road SOH insertion unit 90 carries out this overhead transmission processing.When the expense of regulation comprises the B2 byte, also carry out the B2-byte and handle, as mentioned above.
Therefore, even between original multiplexer B and C, additionally inserted multiplexer E, in the transmission network of F, above-mentioned structure and operation can make the multiplexer of low speed transmissions expense and main signal to be transmitted between multiplexer B and the C on additional multiplexer E or F not by termination.
Multiplex transmission apparatus utilization of the present invention is in conjunction with the described structure of the foregoing description and operate any expense that can be transmitted in the multiplex signal.In other words, even as being modified in the transmission system as shown in Fig. 4 A as in the new system as shown in Fig. 4 B, in the above-described embodiments the expense that so far between multiplexer B and C, is utilized of the multiplexer of Miao Shuing (if as increase newly multiplexer) transmission and not terminating they so that also can utilize this expense between multiplexer B in the improvement system and the C.Thereby, do not influence the ability that administers and maintains operation between multiplexer by the structure of improving transmission system.In addition, because multiplexer of the present invention allows to use expense between the multiplexer that needs arbitrarily, so the ability with higher management and attended operation can be provided, user-operable be provided and help to set up the multiplexer of transmission system flexibly.
Describe according to another embodiment of multiplexer of the present invention and utilize an embodiment of the transmission system or the transmission network of this multiplexer below with reference to corresponding accompanying drawing.
Figure 10 is a frame assumption diagram, and this figure illustrates the embodiment of an increase and decrease type multiplexer (after this abbreviating " ADM " as), and this ADM is according to transmitting device of the present invention.Figure 11 A and 11B are the network configurations that the embodiment of the transmission network of utilizing ADM of the present invention is described.
ADM of the present invention provide high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals that a plurality of branch road multiplex signals that comprise expense and multiplexed therewith main signal and two comprise expense and multiplexed therewith main signal and to the expense in each multiplex signal as termination, renewal, or the like processing.In addition, ADM the multiplexed main signal of a plurality of branch roads be inserted in the multiplexing main signal of high-speed, multi-path (increase), from the multiplexing main signal of high-speed, multi-path branch out the multiplexed main signal of a plurality of branch roads (minimizing), the multiplexing main signal of high-speed, multi-path is connected (interconnection) with other signal cross and transmit the multiplexing main signal of this high-speed, multi-path (by).Similar with the above embodiments, transmit the branch road multiplex signal by OC-12, and transmit the high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals by OC-192s.This ADM advance to handle main signal and carry out overhead processing as limiting in SONET, and also is transmitted in a part of expense in the multiplex signal that inputs to it, so that utilized the expense of this transmission by the far-end multiplexer.Then, utilize the network of this ADMs have linear structure (Figure 11 A) or in cyclic structure (Figure 11 B) by (OC-192) interconnective ADMs of high-speed transmission line (spans).In addition, the transmitting device as the multiplexer (OC-12) is connected with ADMs by transmission line (spans).According to above-mentioned structure, handle so that send and be received in the main signal between the multiplexer except carrying out aforesaid main signal, ADMs carries out handling so that send and be received in any expense in the branch road multiplex signal between any multiplexer according to overhead transmission of the present invention, set up a transmission system very flexibly thus, this transmission system allows the multiplexer in network freely to send and receive expense and the main signal between them, and the higher ability that administers and maintains operation is provided.
Be used to increase except additionally being provided with one, minimizing, interconnection and the main signal insertion/separative element 105 to the transmission operation of main signal, in fact the structure of ADM is identical with the structure of above-mentioned multiplexer.Except the position and symbol that in Figure 10, change in order to adapt to ADM, remaining functional unit that uses in Figure 10 is identical (in Figure 10, representing with identical symbol with the identical functions unit, unit in Fig. 6) with the corresponding unit in above-mentioned multiplexer.In following explanation, will structure and the operation different with above-mentioned multiplexer only be described especially.
Because high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11 is used to ADMs is interconnected by high-speed transmission line (referring to Figure 11 A and 11B) in this embodiment, so two high speed signal transmission/receiving elements 11 are set in each ADM, be unit, west side 11-1 and unit, east side 11-2, so that be connected with ADMs in both sides.Similarly, high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11-1,11-2 and main signal multiplexed/add main signal insertion/separative element 105 between the multichannel decomposition transform unit 100, so that high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11-1,11-2 can send with tributary signal/receiving element 10-1 ~ 10-M is connected, can interconnect with high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11-1,11-2, handle so that carry out main signal as described above.
In addition, this ADM also is suitable for expense is transferred to another high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals from a high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals, so that the sky of overhead processing unit 300 divides selectively interconnection expense waiting for transmission of converting unit 200, this expense by the unit of the multiplexed unit 130 of expense from high speed signal transmission/receiving element (for example, the unit, east side) is received in, and cross-coupled expense (is for example sent to another high speed signal transmission/receiving element, the unit, west side), this unit is inserted into expense waiting for transmission on the byte of stipulating in the overhead area of high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals.
Thereby, when treating when the expense that a high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals is transferred to another signal is included in information on the B2 byte, the LOH of high speed signal transmission/receiving element 11 inserts unit 40 not to carry out inserting the bit inversion that unit 80 is carried out as the LOH of tributary signal transmission/receiving element 10-M in above-mentioned multiplexer, but the quantity (because result of B2 byte termination) at the wrong i that produces on the high-speed transmission line of input is added on the quantity of wrong j of reception, so that obtain the quantity of a total wrong k who is transmitted.On the other hand, can realize being used for detecting structure, will be described this subsequently in this expense transmission/reception error of transmission at interval by the structure of utilizing a kind of serial connection.
ADM also is configured to depend on control unit 400, and this control unit 400 is pointed out the type of expense waiting for transmission and the position that is inserted into to each functional unit, so that each functional unit responds ground carries out the insertion of interconnection, selection and expense.Control unit 400 also is connected so that receive from the control information at the network management unit 2017 shown in Figure 11 A and the 11B.Specifically, network management unit 2017 is suitably pointed out the type of expense waiting for transmission and the position that is inserted into to each ADM, so that avoid a conflict or contradiction, allow thus freely to be transmitted and to receive between expense and the main signal multiplexer in network.
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, expense can be transmitted by multiplexer arbitrarily, so that in being similar to the ADM that the foregoing description describes and in transmission network or utilizing between any multiplexer in the transmission system of ADMs and can use this expense.Therefore, because the structure of system is improved, not have the transmission system of variation so it can provide a kind of to administering and maintaining operational capacity, that is, it administers and maintains aspect operational capacity, flexibility and the applicability more excellent in improvement.
Below with reference to another structurally different embodiment a kind of structure that is used for detecting the error of transmission that occurs in the transmission intercal between the multiplexer that sends and receive expense is described with the foregoing description.Specifically, this embodiment is equivalent with the structure of the transmission system that adopts SONET or SDH, this SONET or SDH notice are receiving the error of transmission that produces the interval of multiplexer from the overhead transmission multiplexer to the expense of utilizing serial connection, wherein serial connection is standardized by ANSI or ITU-T, that is, by getting involved the structure of multiplexer transmission B2 byte.Therefore in above-mentioned multiplexer and ADM, utilize structure arbitrarily.
Figure 12 A and 12B are the operating instruction figure to utilizing serial connection to come the structure of detected transmission mistake to make an explanation.More precisely, Figure 12 A shows the structure according to this embodiment, and Figure 12 B shows the structure chart that is used for the detected transmission mistake in conjunction with above-mentioned multiplexer or ADM explanation, and Figure 13 is the structure chart that explanation utilizes the transmission network of a serial connection.With reference to these figure, the structure that utilization according to the present invention is connected in series the detected transmission mistake is described below by comparing with the foregoing description.
As shown in Figure 12 B, the foregoing description is configured to transmit the B2 byte by certain multiplexer, so that utilize the B2 byte in the transmission intercal between different multiplexers to detect mistake.For this purpose, this B2 byte of multiplexer termination of each transmission B2 byte, detect the quantity of wrong i, the quantity of wrong i be added on the quantity of the wrong j that notifies by the source multiplexer so that the quantity that obtains the quantity of total wrong k and transmit this total wrong k.Then, the terminal multiplexer of transport overhead produces the B2 byte from the quantity (the k ` among Figure 12 B) of last total mistake, wherein the B2 byte gets involved in the multiplexer at each and is increased, and make the bit reversal of B2 byte, so that the error of transmission that notice produces during the multiplexer of destination at the multiplexer that starts from expense.
In the transmission system that adopts SONETH or SDH, between source unit and unit, destination, mainly carry out the management of channel.Yet, if the channel from source channel head joint equipment (PTE) 4000-1 to destination PTE4000-2 is through the network area by different governing plan management, as shown in Figure 13 (in this embodiment, this channel is through network management zone 1-3), so it need be in each management area independently management channel so that determine the zone that produced fault.Therefore, as ansi standard T1.150 or ITU-T standard G.707 in defined, the interval that connects at the line end that comprises a plurality of continuous connections between two borders of management area of equipment (LTEs) and line is defined as serial connection, and defines the management method that is used for this serial connection.Specifically, utilize a channel overhead POHs among a plurality of channel overhead POHs be included in the pay(useful) load that illustrates in the frame structure of Fig. 1.Utilization is used for detecting in the B3 byte of the mistake of channel in the 3rd row and utilizes in the 9th row as the Z5 byte of the byte that is used to manage serial connection and manage error of transmission.As an example detection of the error of transmission in the serial connection of management area 1 is described, LTE 4001 monitors and is used for mistake 1The B3 byte of quantity, this mistake 1Producing to the channel of LTE 4001 from source PTE 4000-1, and this mistake 1Quantity be inserted in the Z5 byte and and send LTE 4002 to this multiplex signal.LTE 4002 monitor once more in wrong 1 ` number the B3 byte, this mistake 1 ` is producing to the channel of LTE 4002 from source PTE 4000-1, and deducts from the quantity of wrong 1 ` by the Z5 byte and receive mistake 1Quantity so that the quantity of the mistake that in serial connection, produces of management.
In the structure of in the embodiment of the error of transmission that the transmission intercal that is used for detecting between the multiplexer that is sending and receiving expense produces, describing, at first transmit the inlet multiplexer that first multiplexer 2030 of the expense in the branch road multiplex signal is considered to be connected in series, the last path multiplexer 2032 of the expense in the transmission branch road multiplex signal is considered to terminal multiplexer, as as shown in Figure 12 A, so that utilize the serial connection management method of aforesaid B3 byte and Z5 byte to transmit wrong quantity.
Specifically, multiplexer 2030 is inserted in the specified byte in an overhead area of high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals and in mode similar to the above embodiments the quantity of the mistakes (j) that detect the B2 byte of termination branch road multiplex signal after coding, the quantity of the mistake of encoding this high-speed, multi-path multiplexed signals is sent to destination multiplexer (3001,3002) by transmission line.Similarly, multiplexer 2030 checks that in the scope of itself a B byte and mistake (a 1) quantity that checks of the quantity of the mistake that is used for having produced are inserted in the Z5 byte so that transmit the quantity of this mistake (3003) on channel.
The mistake (3004 that 2031 transmission of the intervention multiplexer of transport overhead receive, 3002) quantity, and mistake (i) quantity that detect and by B2 byte notice is not added to mistake (1) quantitatively on the line between the multiplexer, as above-mentioned embodiment (Figure 12 B) multiplexer carried out.Certainly, carry out the termination (in the generation of error detection on the receiver side and the parity check bit on transmitter side) of B2 byte as a rule, yet it handles with the overhead transmission of explanation in this embodiment irrespectively processed.Similarly, because at interchannel, just, on the root between channel head joint equipment (PTEs) 4000-1 and the 4000-2, can detect B3 byte and Z5 byte, so, except these bytes were transmitted as main signal, the transmitting device of this embodiment did not need other processing (being used for the detection of the quantity of mistake).
Multiplexer 2032 is extracted mistake (j) quantity of sending from multiplexer 2030 (3004) out.Similarly, as mentioned above, check the B3 byte, and from mistake (1 `) quantity that produces at channel, deduct the value of the Z5 byte (1) of reception up to multiplexer 2032, so that obtain quantity (1 `-1 of error of transmission, promptly Cuo Wu quantity equals the i+i ` in Figure 12 B), this wrong quantity is to produce on the transmission channel between the multiplexer 2030 and 2032 (serial connection) (3005).Then, mistake (j) quantity that receives and result of calculation (1 `-1) addition so that obtain wrong (k `) quantity, this mistake (k `) quantity is that and the bit quantity that equates with k ` in the B2 parity check bit that produces is inverted and is transmitted to destination multiplexer 2033 (3006) so that similarly mode is in that 2032 transmission intercal produces from the source multiplexer to multiplexer with the foregoing description (3001).
Aforesaid structure and method also provide the similar result with embodiment noted earlier, the B2 byte is by getting involved the multiplexer transmission among the described in front embodiment, make thus and might notify the destination multiplexer error of transmission that this error of transmission is to produce on source multiplexer that sends and receive expense and the transmission intercal between the multiplexer of destination.Similarly, according to above-mentioned structure, the intervention multiplexer of transport overhead does not need to calculate.Owing to only need first and last multiplexer to calculate, so in the interval of a large amount of multiplexers that comprise transport overhead, can reduce the software amount.Can select a kind of structure in this embodiment said structure (Figure 12 B) and the structure (Figure 12 A) according to the scale of ad hoc network or system.
As mentioned above, because the ADMs that utilizes multiplexer according to the present invention and have a transport overhead function sets up transmission network, will not influence the ability that administers and maintains operation so this network is out of shape, this situation often takes place in conventional transmission system.Similarly, owing between any two multiplexers within the transmission network, can transmit and receive expense arbitrarily, so can easily realize having the good flexible net that administers and maintains operational capacity.Specifically, can send and receive interconnection E1 between any two multiplexers, E2 is so that allow the tradesman to carry out telephone communication.In addition, can transmit and receive data communication channel D1-D12, make thus and might set up a structurally transmission network flexibly of change easily so that be provided for the various parameters etc. of multiplexer.Particularly, according to SONET, transmit D1-D12 so that each multiplexer is adjusted from network management unit or similar units, in this case, if be utilized by the structure that gets involved the such data communication channel D1-D12 of multiplexer transmission according to the present invention, the data that need so to adjust can easily be transferred to the destination multiplexer, and do not need to utilize the control unit of multiplexer to carry out the intervention of complex process, as under the situation of conventional multiplexer, each multiplexer must termination once and once more transmit expense.Therefore, can be understood that: the present invention is very effective administering and maintaining in the operation of transmission network.In addition, owing to can transmit and receive the conversion and control byte K1 of the conversion that is used for the control transmission line, K2 does not conflict between multiplexer so that carry out the selection of transmission line, if so transmission line is out of order, network configuration can be changed immediately or be re-constructed so.For error of transmission, though between source multiplexer and destination multiplexer, can not directly transmit the B2 byte, but the quantity of the mistake that produces can detect reliably with notified, so that might be implemented in the management of error rate in the transmission intercal, this management is equivalent to the management that is realized by the B2 byte that transmits and receive between direct-connected source multiplexer and destination multiplexer, wherein be not provided with any intervention multiplexer.Certainly, can be understood that: if also to transmit other expense illustrated in fig. 3 with the similar mode of above-mentioned expense, so similarly they can be used to the operation that administers and maintains between multiplexer.
In the present invention, as mentioned above, in overhead area, select undefined byte and treating that expense by the transmitting device transmission is inserted on the undefined byte in multiplex signal, then this expense of transmission in multiplex signal by the multiplex signal of standard definition.In other words, in transmission network or transmission system, byte to be used can pre-determine before transmitting and receiving, or can utilize data communication channel explained before to change the set point of used byte in transmission with before receiving these bytes.Since have only undefined byte be available, can be provided with freely according to the quantity of transmitting device within transmission network and the amount of information that administers and maintains operation, so can provide a kind of transmitting device and a kind of transmission network, even they have and sufficiently highly administer and maintain operational capacity so that can deal with neatly in network configuration or administer and maintain the variation in the method for operation or deal with the further variation that has in standard.
According to multiplex transmission apparatus of the present invention and multiplex transmission networks, needed transmitting device is allowed to transmit and receives the expense that is used to be loaded with the information relevant with administering and maintaining operation within network, on this expense each transmitting device in a conventional transmission system by termination, so that it can provide a kind of transmitting device and transmission network with high management and attended operation ability, and with variation in network configuration with or have nothing to do with the variation of using that administers and maintains in the method for operation.
